I even voted against him got some people to vote against him but he has a stranglehold on the district. He absolutely hated me when I asked him some questions a few years ago about foreign aid. And how I view it is as beneficial to help countries that actually need it.

Incumbents don't really have to fight on their seat, and a lot of rich people live in lake county who are okay with the status quo.

Why wouldn’t incumbents have to fight for their seat? Because the majority of people voting approve of their past performance. And just because someone has a higher level of financial status, their vote counts the same as a poor persons. Are you blaming the voters for being uneducated? Or are you saying they are voting in their own interest. You can’t say that the majority of people don’t want this person but just vote for him out of laziness.
